Last of this little series.
I have others, but similarities outweigh differences, sooooo.
All were shot from the parking area at the Lady Bird Grove in Redwoods National Park, California.
Kodak slides from a few years ago- that I scanned and processed recently.

Thanks David and Chris.
I was surprised that the light rays extended so high above the trees. It cried out for a vertical image, whereas most of the other views indicated that horizontal was better.
And I wasn't trying to illustrate the height of these marvelous monsters- it was all about the light.

Another nice one Charlie Capturing the grandeur of the Redwoods is so extremely difficult. I have been very many times and I usually spend my time with my jaw on the ground in awe and come back with shots that I'm never happy with. Good on you for finding a way to photograph them that emphasis their size and allows you to add good level of creativity. I have really enjoyed this series. You have inspired my to revisit my files AND to revisit the far northern counties of CA.

Thanks Eric, Chris, Dorian, Greg, Kenny and Tim.
Eric- It is kind of you to offer such possibilities and effects. Honesty forces me to mention a couple of differences, however. My basic photographic approach was to travel to interesting places and look for things I liked. When I found them, I took pictures. When the little yellow boxes came back from Kodak, if I liked them, I might celebrate that evening with a glass of premium wine-in-a-box. And I assure you that my Kodachrome slides have aged more gracefully than I .
Dorian- Nobody of importance came down from the sky , but I share with you the thought that a redwood grove is a magnificent natural cathedral.
Tim- My experiences in the redwoods has been very similar to yours. Trying to match my feelings and emotions with photographic images has been a long and mostly unsuccessful experience. Occasionally things work out just right. But I always have a wonderful time wandering through those forests in complete silence.
